It was quite a fine day in Equestria, and unsurprisingly, Twilight Sparkle was inside reading a book. What I mean by that was that it was not surprising that she was reading a book. The fact that she was reading it cooped up inside the tree that housed her home and the Ponyville Library instead of on a park bench as she was often wont to do on a day as beautiful as this one may or may not come as a surprise to some. However, the reason this was so was simply because the research she was doing was quite important and unwanted distractions would be grievous indeed. Twilight needed all the brainpower she could spare, because, it seemed, she had discovered a new set of elements.
Not the kind of elements you might find on a periodic table, like hydrogen or gold or ununnilium. Not even a new synthetic element. No, these elements seemed to be of the magical sort, spirits personifying certain traits. Twilight herself was one of the Elements of Harmony, magic to be exact. She and the other five Elements had used their great power to defeat mighty foes, such as Discord, the Spirit of Chaos and enemy to the very concept of harmony. He’s a statue now. Anyway, Twilight had never known, never even suspected that there might be other elements out there besides those of harmony which presided in her and her friends. Not until now, at least. The idea of it made her giddy.
By now, if you didn’t already know, you have probably begun to fathom just how much a nerd Twilight was. But even nerds are subservient to their all-powerful demigod mistress, especially if they are the personal student of said demigod. Realizing her discovery would likely be of immense interest to the Princess of the Sun, she set about writing a letter. By this, I mean, she called her dragon Spike up to do all the work.
“Spike! Spiiiiiike!”
“Coming Twilight!”
Spike had been downstairs reshelving the books in the main library that always had a way of being left all over the floor by a certain purple unicorn whenever he finished organizing them. For such an OCD pony, Twilight had a way of making messes of her literature that defied comprehension. But, not wanting to keep Twilight waiting, as that would undoubtedly mean being sent to the corner, he went upstairs to her bedroom to see what task he was to slave away at next.
“Spike, take a letter.”
‘Oh, of course,’ thought Spike ‘I need to write a letter. Why can’t she ever write her own letters? She has telekinesis for Celestia’s sake, she could probably do it with her eyes shut.’ But, not daring to speak this treachery aloud, he picked up a quill and a piece of parchment and stood ready, waiting for Twilight to dictate the contents of the letter.
She began. “Dear Princess Celestia-”
‘Not another friendship lesson.” Spike said in his head.
“-I am writing to you of a matter of utmost importance. It seems that there are more magical elements than just the Elements of Harmony. I have discovered what seems to be an entirely new set of them. I will need to study further, and I will report back when I have found something. If you know anything, please relay it to me immediately. Always your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle.”
Spike had to hurry to finish those last lines because he had paused part way through in shock. Once he completed the task of penning the letter, he rolled the parchment up into a scroll, tied it with a ribbon, and incinerated it into ashes with his breath of enchanted flame. The ashes floated out the window, spiraled once or twice in a thermal, and began to ride the cool morning breeze to the distant city of Canterlot, Capital of Equestria and seat of the throne. Not long after, indeed it seemed only a few seconds had passed, before Spike belched out a great cloud of flame which materialized itself into a parchment scroll nearly identical to the one he had sent off. Twilight immediately used her magic to pluck the document from the air and unrolled it. She held it up and her eyes quickly scanned the content. When she let it fall, her face was agape with disbelief. “The Princess, she- she-” Twilight stammered “she wants me to forget it! She even told me to burn the book I had found the clue in! How could this be? There is something odd going on here. . .”
Spike cut in: “Hey, Twilight, maybe you’re just overthinking. She probably just doesn’t want you overworking your brain or anything. When was the last time you took a break, anyways?’
“No, Spike,” Twilight returned in her over-serious-there’s-shenanigans-going-on voice, “something serious is going on, and I have to find out what!”
Meanwhile, in the evil lair-
No seriously, in the evil lair. In this case, the lair being the study or one Mr. Artemis Fowl the Second. Second obviously because his father had the exact same name and of course a distinguishment was necessary. Now this Artemis was a villain, the greatest mastermind the world had ever seen. His archnemesis Opal Koboi would beg to differ, except for the fact that ‘dead men (or pixies) tell no tales’. Yeah, she died. Her minion put a knife in her chest. The point being that Artemis was now indisputably the best mastermind in the world. Also the richest, for he came from a long line of men nearly as devious as him. The Fowl family name was the most respected and well-known name in all of Ireland.
Did I forget to mention Artemis was Irish? But to the point. He was rich and smart and saved the world several times and also he discovered faeries. A lot of achievements for a minor. Now, at this point, he was a better man, more reformed, and less taken to criminal activities. But at this point, now that his archnemisis was finally gone for good, and for once no new threat seemed to be imminently looming (for once), he realized that soon he would have to face the Shirt. See, he hadn’t really been home for awhile, at least while zombie pirates and evil all-powerful pixies weren’t trying to kill him, and so he hadn’t had to deal with it. What the Shirt was was a simple graphic tee of the sort normal teenagers wear. But Artemis was no normal teenager, and he loathed any garment not in any way resembling an Armani suit. He wouldn’t wear it if it wasn’t an Armani suit. So, as you can see, he had a major problem. He had been trapped into wearing it by his mother who had bought the shirt for him as a birthday present about a year and a half ago. He had been in a small escape pod under the ocean with a dwindling oxygen supply and two other occupants at the time, so the matter had not pressed on his mind quite as much as it would have in normal circumstances. Later on after that he was hospitalized in a secret underground facility to treat his magical mental condition. When he finally went home, it was under attack and the world was in chaos.
Now he had no excuse to avoid the promise his own mother had bamboozled him into making. Artemis had to hand it to her, the trap was simple yet impossible to escape. She made him promise to make use of the gift she bought him and then revealed its identity after he agreed. The shirt itself would have been bad enough for him even without his aversion to non-Armani garments. It was black, and on the front was an image of a neckless youth missing two digits on each hand. In the background, scrawled topography text read ‘Randomosity’. This, of course, did not sit well with Artemis. But logic told him to get it over with. He’d just have to wear the shirt and the included jeans for one day; just one day to appease his mother, and then he’d never have to see it again. He could even burn it if he wanted. Bracing himself, the boy genius approached the door that led to his adjoining sleeping quarters.
Once inside, he opened a dresser drawer and removed an item still wrapped in tissue paper. Removal of this veil revealed it to the the Randomosity shirt. But- something seemed- off about it. The colors were much brighter than Artemis had remembered. Indeed, it seemed to be giving off its own light. The word ‘Randomosity’ rapidly increased in luminance. There could be no question about it now; the shirt was glowing. Artemis’ mind immediately began to formulate an explanation. He realized with some amusement that that light patterns reminded him of the times he had been transported through time. This thought quickly asserted itself in the front of his mind, and he instantly made the connection. As soon as he did, the portal made its connection, and Artemis was no longer in his room. He was not even in the house. In fact, Artemis was not even on the planet.
I like it.
No, I don't love it. No, I don't hate it. I like it. A My Little Pony/Artemis Fowl crossover is a wonderful idea and a wonderful crossover. I've read all eight books of Artemis Fowl, and I hope you'd use the knowledge of the books to the best of your ability.
2276718 You don't have to love it. You don't really even have to like it. I'm just happy you read it at all. Thank you. And yes, I will use my knowledge of all eight books to the best of my abilities. Once again, thanks for reading.
I combat the red bar with a thumbs up! Take that, and that, you foul beast!
I only went half-way down the story before I decided that this was blasphemy. If you are going to create a fanfic crossover wit ha novel, at least TRY to keep it in a similar writing style to the author of the novel. I mean seriously. Artemis isn't 'evil' (at least not now) and he never though of himself as evil. Therefore, I say thumbs down to you, sir, and be glad I did not bring out my crowbar.
2276972 Thanks for that. I think we got ourselves a system here.
2277011 I personally think it's blasphemy to attempt to write in a style that is not one's own. Also, please point out to be where I used to word "evil". If you don't like what I do, go find something you do like.
Bye!

I like the idea, and I don't mind a unique writing style, it;s just the fact that when you attempt to write a crossover borrowing the story of a novel, it makes it better to write in the style of the original author. That allows for a better read overall. I am only trying to give out some constructive criticism here. If this becomes a flamefight, remember: I have a crowbar.
YESH! YES! FINALLY!
FAVOURITED
I think you might need to add in the description that this includes Artemis Fowl spoilers for the last book.
Pinkie! I just read this fan-fiction and I ended up with SPOILEEEEERS! *sobsobsobsob*
Wait Celestia is in this?
She'll be happy that she has a ex-terrorist running around in Equestria wearing a ridiculous T-Shirt saying 'Randomosity'
Also whoever disliked sucks.
This has a lot of potential I will follow
Eh.
It isn't bad...
but it isn't really anything.
It's just kinda meh.
Hopefully it gets better.
Excellent, I never thought of crossing Artemis Fowl with MLP. Teenage mastermind meets ponies with more magical talent then fairies.
Just one problem... You forgot Butler...
2276972 ditto
and artemis fowl/my little pony crossover?
well colour me intrigued, this has some potential behind it
it would be interesting to see what devious plot Arty comes up with in the land of Equestria
Could become something indeed.
Needs a proofreader though...
And needs more Butler.
2276806OMFuckin'G! People actually did the impossible! They read the Artemis Fowl series(my next favorite thing after MLP, of course; I'm such a nerd) and wrote a crossover! I need heart surgery, cause mine just burste...*thump*
2278149You can't forget Butler! If you think he's still injured, he recovered from being shot in the third or so book(I still haven't read the last book yet, so I don't know if Butler gets injured then.) And what about any agent in the L.E.P.RECON agency?
He and Captain Short had that little romance in Time Paradox,and remember,he's barely evil now.His adventures made his consience too strong to escape,and his father,mother,ms. Short,No.1,and Minerva kinda reformed him.
2278645 I find the AF series very relatable,and I've gone as far as decoding the fairy code and the gnommish writong on the page bottoms in most of the books.
And Quilin,he DID think of himself as evil at first.Not anymore though.
2278130 I'm pretty sure it will. Melvin is a pretty devious person.
2277289 Crowbar? You do realize I'm a mad scientist, right?
2277309 Sorry about the spoilers, I figured most people would have read TLG by now if I had time too.
2277323 Thanks for the support.
2277879 Thank you.
2278130 That's idea anyway, getting batter. Nothing has really happened yet, but just you wait. . .
2278876 You know it, old friend. Yet what you know does not even begin to scratch the surface of what my mind is capable of. *insert maniacal laugh here*
2278643 Butler is coming up in part two.
2279384
And I created multiple inter dimensional rifts, instigated an impossible feat, the Resonance Cascade, am currently inside a stolen, multi-billion dollar, military-grade combat and Hazardous Environment suit, am loaded with weapons and ammo, and have killed countless invading aliens with only a crowbar because I am that BADASS. I DON'T need to use the grenades, or satchel charges, or MP-5, or SPAS-12, or rocket launcher, or 9mm, or .357 magnum revolver, or my tau gun, or my alien bee hive to destroy you.
(And I just took this a wee bit too far, didn't I?)
2279411 Perhaps just a tad. Just a tad mind you. It's enough to know you were trying to be constructive and not an asshole. Here, have this Jammy Dodger as a peace offering.
2279411 Don't forget the Antlion testicles.
2279409
2279421
MMMmmmm... Fphanks, Ihve Alwphays *swallows* wanted to try these. Here, have a bowl of noodles that I did NOT explode this morning and then drag with me through countless tunnels of toxic waste. I also think I have a jaffa cake around here... a here it is...
2279422
*whispers to you* wrong timeline idiot, I'm not there yet. Do you want to destabilize the entire Space-Time Continuum? I'm not talking let Limbo back to earth destabilize, I'm talking all of reality ends in a single second with none of it ever having happened. No more spoilers, damnit!
2279438 Oh, so Episode 3 hasn't been released for you yet?
Spoilers: It ends with *deleted by Gaben* gets *deleted by Gaben* by *deleted by Gaben*.
majhost.com/gallery/C-N/MLP/MLP3/60010_-_celestia_gabe_newell_gaben.jpg
Gaben: We at Valve will make Celestia replace Alyx in Episode 3, and enlargen her breasts and ass to keep up with younger audiences.
It's OK. I had finished the last book ages ago. It had a great ending.
Also, I think Artemis will be happy that there aren't any toilets. :P
Lyra will go insane over the t-shirt since it has a human on it, and Artemis realises he is in a land of ponies, from a TV show designed for 3-4 year old girls designed to market toys.
Everyone will think he's gone insane when he comes back. >:P
Also, It would be hilarious if Artemis holds up a sign saying 'HELP' for people to see during the opening.
Needs more Butler and Holly
Will Holly be in there?
You can't have a Artemis Fowl story without Holly!
2282099 Butler is coming soon.
Anyone up for some Artemis as a pony?
Also Butler might look something like Snowflake. :P
iambrony.steeph.tp-radio.de/mlp/gif/3833__safe_animated_hurricane-fluttershy_roid-rage_medley_steroids_yeah-excl-.gif
YEAH!!!
2282050 What Arty will primarily go insane over is Pinkie. I think you understand.
2282100 Holly will show up soon.
2282219 I disagree. Butler does not take steroids.
LOL, I can imagine Artemis Walking along trying to escape Pinkie.
2282609
2282630
Artemis: This doesn't seem physically possible!
Twilight: That's what I said at first. You'll get used to it.
Artemis: I beg to differ.
Twilight:
*anticipates update*
Hmm... Will Artemis and co end up as ponies? Or will they stay human?
2285763 Hmm- let's find out, shall we?
this will be interesting
2290916 That's the idea at least.
2287802
I take that as a yes.
